Azerbaijani artist Tünzale Memmedzade has transcribed Quran with silver and black ink on transparent black silk pages. This work took her 3 years to be made. She has used 50 meters of black to make the pages of the book (29 x 33 cm each in size).

Tünzale says in her research she has found Quran to be transcribed on many different materials, however never onto silk before.
